FREE TRADE
WHAT IT HAS DONE FOR BRITAIN COUNTER-BLAST TO PREFERENCE MANIFESTO TO CONFERENCE. fUIUIBD FRIES ASSOCIATION.—COPIMQHT.) (AUSTRALIAN-NEW ZEALAND CABLB ASSOCIATION.) (Received 12th October, 1.30 p.m.) LONDON, llth October. The Free Trade Union has addressed a manifesto to the Imperial Conference delegates, pointing out that the policy which has enabled Britain to import cheap food and cheap raw materials enabled her to defy competition, co that her export trade grew and her import trade increased, and contributed to the people's prosperity. In the union's opinion, this was the most complete vindication of the Free Trade BV6tem. The manifesto adds: "The war has left us with an enormously increased capacity fov production, but that capacity will be wasted unless we can sell our goods in competition with the world, interference with imports by taxation will be more fatal to our industries now than before the war."
